"People in Pendleton and Baker City were talking about it, and I came here to La Grande last Halloween with fresh eyes as part of the AmeriCorps program. When I heard about the idea, I said, Why
The response to the festival was bigger than expected. Some 21tasterbreweries have been confirmed. They include the local powerhouses Terminal Gravity Brewing of Enterprise, Barley Brown's Brewpub and Bull Ridge Brewpub of Baker City and Prodigal Sun Brewery of Pendleton. They also include a who's who of Oregon craft brewers including Tandem Brewingand Beer Valley Brewing of Ontario, Dragon's Gate Brewery of Milton-Freewater, 1188 Brewing of John Day, Cascade Brewing Barrel House, Upright

a shuttle to the fairgrounds. The festival organizers thought they were thinking big fiom the start but sold out of the first 300 drinking passes in three days, Sidd1qm satd. They got more beer, fencing,security,glasses,programs, pamphlets and merchandise and doubled the original ticket sales. Those, too, sold out in three days, she said. Tickets were sold to people not only locally but also in Nevada, Idaho, Washington and California. 'Therearelotofpeoplewho beer festival hop and are bigintothe craft and making beer," Siddiqui said."The entire purpose of the festival, though, is to bring people fiom out of town to get outside dollars rotating locally.

Fire hydrant testing and maintenance Once again it is time to start the annual fire hydrant testing and maintenance program. The City of La Grande Public Works DepaWment will be conducting these tests this year starting June 11, 2014. This program is very impoWant to allow the public works depaWment to identify the quantity of water available for firefighting purposes and it serves to rid the city's water distribution system of accumulations of sedimentation deposits over the past year. Citizens who experience any unusual water clarity problems after the hydrants are flushed are encouraged to turn on a coldwater faucet outsidethe house and let it run for 5 to 10 minutes. This will normally clear up the agitated water from the service line to the home.
